ARQ Page #4

- Just them.

- Ren, please.

Nobody has to get hurt.

We do it my way.

...what happened

to continental Australia

will happen to the entire planet.

It will be 10,000 years...

- Jeez.

- What the hell you doing?

...before anyone can step foot

on that radioactive rubble again.

Shoot me, we all die.

They're bluffing.

Hannah, baby, don't do this.

I trusted you.

Ren's keeping half his scrips.

We get the other half.

- Nobody gets hurt this way.

- No, wait.

Hannah.

Come with me.

We can start over.

Okay? Do it right this time.

We'll head north.

No Torus, no Bloc.

Just us.

You should eat.

There's food in the kitchen. Just...

Just think about it, okay?

Hannah!

Well...

aren't we just one big happy family?

You killed me.

You punched me in the ear.

I meant... I meant to hit you in the face.

Huh, like this?

Hannah's coming with me.

Giving us your blessing?

- She won't go with you.

- She will.

I know Hannah.

Then you also know that she hates you.

Stop!

I need a few hours

to download the data and pack up the ARQ.

You can't go with him, Hannah.

His mind's gone sour.

We'll hook up with a migrant caravan,

head to the Arctic Parallel.

I can hack weather drones

so we avoid flash...

I can't go with you.

I can't.

I'm keeping my scrips.

That wasn't the deal.

Well, the deal's changed.

Ren, please.

This is bigger than us.

This is about winning the war.

The war is over.

Torus is gonna win.

The Bloc is doomed.

And you are wasting your time.

Maybe.

But I have to try.

We need your scrips.

All of them.

Now!

You're not gonna shoot me.

You're right.

You're just being ridiculous.

Okay. Okay. Okay. Just...

I shot you.

Wait, you remember?

Were you brats playing doctor?

Oh, yeah.

All night long.

Give me your scrips.

But hold back on me?

You got five minutes.

You do remember.

Is this a dream?

It was a dream, right? Or...

is this a dream right now? I...

It's not a dream.

- No.

- Today is repeating.

No, I have to get out of here.

- Ren, I can't. I...

- Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey.

Everything's gonna be okay.

How is this happening?

The ARQ.

How many times do you remember?

Just one.

But it feels like more.

That's because it is.

Great.

Okay, you see these time logs?

These are the four loops

we've gone through.

They always begin at 6:11

and end at 9:
25.

And this last time log,

that's happening right now.

So we've looped five times?

- Yeah.

- How? Why?

Okay.

Okay, if, uh, this line is time,

this is when the loop begins.

At 6:
11 a.m.,

Cuz electrocuted himself on the ARQ.

This caused forward time

to bend back on itself,

creating a closed-time loop.

And the day repeats.

Time resets every three hours,
